- There has not been any time in history when misinformation was so common
- Incorrect, earlier, the options to find out the actual truth were highly limited, maybe there has never been a time in history where finding truth was so easy as today
- Every concept, thing, or any other aspect has multiple reasons, sticking to one reason and declining other reason is just incomplete truth
- If a person is sick, does not mean they are sick only because of weather or they are weak, their can be genetic reasons, environmental reasons, historical reasons, economical reasons, and so on...

- If the veto of a single nation can reject the proposol, then is it a true democratic process?
- There are 15 members, 5 permanent (P5) with veto power — USA, UK, France, Russia, China. A decision requires majority support (at least 9/15) and no veto from any P5. This means even if all other nations agree, a single veto blocks the decision.
- For example, if 14 countries agreed to sanction a powerful country, that country might ignore or leave the UN, weakening the system. Giving the P5 a veto ensures that no major power can be forced into a decision it strongly opposes, keeping them “at the table” and engaged in global governance.
- Functionally, it’s a system designed for power-sharing and global stability, which sacrifices pure democracy for realpolitik.

- In one aspect Ajatasatru is killing is father for political power, while in other aspect he is promoting the ideas of Gautam Buddha of peaceful existence, he hosted the first buddhist council, should we call him ethical?
- Sometimes we have to look at the things we have rejected to find the path or solution, rather than looking at the most shining path, example being Mendel's law of heredity, which stayed rejected for the first 34 years, and then researchers like DeVries, Correns, and Tschemark found out in their research that his theory is valid and revived it by crediting as "Rediscovery of Mendels law of heredity".
